“I have painted
abstracts on and off over the year but they are usually
done for relaxation. I usually don’t
put these on exhibit. The guitar and violin
pieces were started for fun; the shapes intrigued
me and I found that they are great for portraits. I’ve
always loved guitar, especially in flamenco music
with its tone, beat and rhythm. Art is a bit
like music. It starts with an idea, a theme
that is then developed a little at a time. I’ve
always enjoyed the creative process and have done
every step myself when painting- from priming the
canvas to executing the piece. I like to take
it from the start with the raw canvas to the finish
when I apply the finishing touches and the sealant.”
